Projectile Intercept System Timing and Tank Shell Feedback
When I use the projectile intercept system I still get hit by shells
When someone else does my shells get stopped. Think I hit through it once.
Obviously, it’s green when this happens
What give...
The Active Protection system has a few tricks to it. Firstly, it has a half second delay from when you trigger it, to when it's actually on. You cannot really use it to intercept a tank shell that is already coming at you, but you can use it to stop an incoming guided missile from 200m+. Secondly, it lasts about three seconds, then it goes on cooldown. These three states are indicated by the light colour: Turning on -> Yellow, Protected -> Green, Cooldown -> Red. Remember that your enemies can also see the lights and adapt accordingly; if a tank sees you with a green light, he's likely gonna hold fire a moment.
